Anthropocentric worldview
An anthropocentric worldview is a perspective that prioritizes human beings and their interests over other forms of life and the environment. It views humans as the central or most significant entities in the universe, often leading to the belief that nature exists primarily to serve human needs. This perspective can influence how we interact with the environment, often resulting in exploitation of resources for human benefit, sometimes at the expense of ecological balance and the well-being of other species. In contrast, other worldviews may emphasize interconnectedness and the intrinsic value of all living things.
